Hello everyone,
I recently downloaded Windows XP + SP3 from the MSDNA platform. (I’m a student and I have legal access to Microsoft software and OS for a limited time). Unfortunately, I can’t create the bootable USB drive.
When using the "Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool", I get an error: after selecting the ISO, it tells me that my ISO is not valid.
I then tried to trick it by opening the ISO with PowerIso, to change the image properties by checking UDF (File=>Image Properties=>check UDF). This allowed the software to accept the ISO, but it caused an error at the end of the "burning" process.
If you know of a good software that could help me create a bootable USB drive with my XP ISO, I’m all ears :)
Thank you for your future responses.

Hello,
Make your USB drive bootable using the command prompt and Diskpart.
Install Daemon Tool, create a virtual drive, put your ISO in it and you will then be able to copy/paste the folders/files to your USB drive.
